re: Would/Will you let your Son play Football?

I thought football (at least until high school) was one of the safer sports.
In order of danger:
1. Baseball
2. Soccer
3. Football
4. Basketball
If anybody debates this list I doubt you played baseball from 5-21. I never really got hurt in a baseball GAME but at random practices I got konked in the heat by an aluminum bat at full speed playing pepper, hit across the face by several baseballs, etc. shite happens when there are 20-something idiot kids on the field at the same time.
I never played soccer but I would imagine you'd konk heads a ton and maybe get your ankle literally broken and shite if you're unlucky with a tackle.
Football I played from 5 through senior year of high school and I only took hits hard enough to cause injury in high school (was a TE). Still felt safer than baseball to me.
Basketball worst was rolled ankles which happened a ton.

I agree, played 3 years of varsity soccer and 4 of both football and baseball. Never got hurt in football, besides small bruises. Got knocked unconscious in soccer with concussion, and kneed in the face which caused a huge gash above my eye. In baseball I got hit my baseballs a few times by dumbasses and gashed in the leg by some spikes tagging a guy out

You must have played with a bunch of pusses. We had a few guys dislocate shoulders, couple of blown out knees. Guy got his lower leg snapped in half. Weird thing is I never remember anyone being out for a concussion, probably cause no one ever said anything.
